Artist Highlight: Deidre Adams and Brooke Atherton

Another of my favorite pieces from Pink Progression at the Arvada Art Center in Colorado.

​I've known and admired the work of both these artists and this piece reflected both their unique voices, expressed in fiber, and yet, they melded perfectly into one holistic concept.

I know you can't see the detail of this piece but while I was there, several women spent at least a half hour reading this amazing installation.  I know that because I wanted to take a photo and ended up leaving to visit other areas of the exhibit and finally was able to do so after 30 minutes!

I returned the next week with my sister and ended up spending another 30 minutes interacting with this piece.  Its complexity, layering, texts, and images made each panel of this enormous installation more intriguing than the next.  Each of the 32 panels measured 20" x 22" — approximately 14 -1/2 feet by 6 - 1/2 feet.  I just wish there was a step stool available so I could get closer to the top panels to further explore their meaning.
